About the Cooperative Parenting Institute

Our Mission and Approach

Our mission is to make a difference in the lives of children and families experiencing separation and divorce. Our current focus is on providing services, education and products to high-conflict families while also providing resources and training to other professionals working with this same population

Our approach focuses on the needs of families experiencing separation or divorce.

Recognizing the unique needs of separating families, we offer a wide range of resources to assist families as well as professionals with a successful transition from a one to two home family. CPI products are distributed throughout the US as well as internationally.

We are dedicated to educating the public, judges, legal and mental health professionals on the impact of divorce and time-sharing arrangements on the development of children.
